Butt family defers sister's wedding

Salman Butt's family is in a "state of shock" after the former Pakistani cricket captain was found guilty of spot-fixing and has postponed his sister's wedding for indefinite period.

Butt's father Zulfiqar said he had indefinitely called-off his daughter's wedding. "She was scheduled to marry in Lahore this month, but it has been postponed because the family is in a state of shock. Her in-laws understand our grief," The Express Tribune quoted Zulfiqar as saying.

Butt's family has maintained that their son is innocent. "If Salman's involvement is proved and evidence is provided, my son Salman and I are ready to be hanged publicly," Zulfiqar said.
